Nah, just think people who are ignorant of their own laws should think more before they make their ignorance more widely known.

International law is what the CCP claims gives them the right. So no, I am not implying, I am stating it is relevant. Even if you disagree with the law, how do you expect this to be resolved peacefully without international law?


Let me guess, you don’t think they have a legal claim to the island under UN law?


I mean wasn’t it largely peaceful in the past? From China’s perspective they only need to act if Taiwan or other countries make public statements challenging their legal claim to the island, it is better for China to wait as the power dynamics are shifting in their favor. It is only the west that wants to force this issue to come to head now, while they still have a comparative advantage - but even now if China wants Taiwan there is little we can do keep that from happening (though the humanitarian cost would be staggering and likely hurt their standing internationally).
Edit: I also don’t see why mainland would suddenly pivot on the issue, there’s seems very little reason to expect them to change course.


The primary enabler of fascism is the belief that it is inevitable.


Yup. People defending this boy are literally as bad as those people checks notes who shoot your neighbor in the face and conduct warrantless searches and arrests. Literally can’t tell the difference. Fuck you for disagreeing.


We had rich people eating slaves and natives since the founding of our nation.
Because AI does nonsensical things that would require extra effort for a human to do, in this case the lady has a soccer purse and a soccer ball


You require documentation so you can check if they have a criminal past. If there’s no documentation then treat them like someone on parole and give them an ankle monitor. It’s not rocket science, we just our politicians’ job security depends on not fixing problems.


Also you have absolute immunity just in case there is any friendly fire


We tried to have navy seals plant listening devices in North Korea ahead of a summit, it did not go well. People say nukes, but I think their security is a whole nother level, like our government rarely knows where those leaders are at a given moment.


And he encouraged others to do so. It is almost like this is a bigger issue for women or girls for some reason. I’m probably sexist for noticing.


Also fun: calling in and you are told your healthcare was canceled, you ask why only to be told that is confidential. Good times.

People become more tribal under scarcity conditions and the scarcity is largely artificial.


The United States has negotiated “Pax Silica” so that it doesn’t need Taiwan for chips…


I guess they would just kidnap, I mean “capture”, the president of Taiwan to be charged in their courts. No need to invade, it’s just “law enforcement” without a warrant like what Trump is doing now.


She will say this is the war to end all wars or some BS like that. Words mean nothing to these people.


Low key yes. So many Americans have this “well it doesn’t affect me” attitude.
You both are right but one is more consequential. Let’s dive in:
Bombing Iran does not have bipartisan support, many Dems are voicing their opposition. The Dems even advanced a bill where the president would need congressional review to specifically bomb Iran in this instance.
The President making unilateral military decisions like bombing Iran does have bipartisan support. The Dems have not challenged it’s constitutionality or proposed significant changes on this front and instead go for a case by case congressional veto. This policy also aides in our genocidal program of Gaza…
